Just no. So many nos.
The sign is being “replaced for obvious reasons.” Reasons being that they don’t need to draw extra attention to their candidate’s flaming racism with a sign that suggests (surely incorrectly) they are segregating people.
The Republican Party has so many possible ways their Trump convention can go wrong. They don’t need to assist with oopsie signs. A sign that reminds everyone of exactly what kind of America Donald Trump thinks is great.
If only they hadn’t picked a racist, bigoted misogynist, things like this wouldn’t matter. Such are the perils of using their Southern Strategy as a get out the vote tool. There’s no room for error when your candidate is pallin’ around with white supremacists.
